With the adoption on the 2018 International Building Code [see IFC 1104.25, 1025] as part of the Building Code 2018 of Utah, the installation of luminous egress path markings became required for all new and existing high-rise commercial building across the State. Effective as of July 2019, all new and existing high-rise commercial buildings must install luminous egress path marking products in all exit stairwells and landings.
Ecoglo®’s industry-leading photoluminescent products bring you a complete luminous egress path marking system in Utah, at the most cost-effective price point on the market.
For over 20 years ecoglo® has been working with architects, property management and facilities around the United States to create safer egress pathways. Our expert engineering team has perfected our patented manufacturing process, which allows for some of the strongest photoluminescent properties available. After a few minutes of exposure to a natural or artificial light source, ecoglo®’s luminous egress path markings provide a bright, long-lasting photoluminescent light source.
Our products are in complete compliance with Utah building codes, and exceed the luminous egress regulations set out in international building, fire and life safety codes. Remember… with ecoglo®, you’ll never miss a step!
Luminous egress path marking products safely guide patrons to the exit discharge, no matter the conditions. For hours after the power has failed, you can rely on ecoglo® products to glow brightly, cutting through smoke without casting shadows, to ensure the egress pathway stays highly visible. Our luminous egress path markings are non-toxic and non-radioactive, making ecoglo® the safest choice for your Utah building.
Stair treads, handrails and obstructions within a critical egress stairway must remain easily visible in all conditions to provide a safe and timely evacuation. Photoluminescent stair nosings and signage allows all vital aspects of an egress pathway to be clearly marked and remain visible in all lighting conditions. Ecoglo®’s luminous egress path marking products will enhance the speed and safety of egress in your Utah facility, guiding occupants to safety.
Our full package of luminous egress path marking solutions will bring your building up to all relevant building and fire codes.
Section 1025 provisions provide an additional level of safety to buildings’ egress paths by requiring the installation of photoluminescent or self-illuminating marking systems that do not require electrical power and the associated wiring and circuits. This means that even if a building’s power supply fails to operate, photoluminescent egress markings ensures occupants can safely egress a building via exit stairways. This is especially necessary in high-rise buildings, which feature a greater anticipated occupant load and occupants which way not be familiar with the emergency exit path.

The Utah State Fire Marshall oversees a wide range of activities and public safety measures to promote fire safety, and protect citizens and the environment from the harms of fire. The State Fire Marshal is responsible for regulation, inspections and plan reviews of new buildings, investigating the cause of fires, fire-training and education. Hand in hand with the mission of the State Fire Marshall, is the requirement for the installation of luminous egress path markings.
